Strategy 2024 Midprice Madness

[Maybe Tomorrow]

I'm just starting my research

Be gentle - what is this about Fyfe?

Do we dare to dig this well again?

He took a hanger in a match sim and is now in 22% of teams

Played mid only too

yes looks like he is fit again

can it last to rd 1 ?

Haha yeah a huge risk no doubt but at that price why not, 40 trades too

Fyfe is life I'm a sucker for these punishments

How are you planning to navigate the Round 0 - like how many players should we have in RD0, as workable?

Not sure about R0, the less the better probably but hard to turn down the value of Grundy, Gawn, etc.

I'm not so sure about Gawn being good value.

This thread is called midprice madness so I assumed that poster was referring to a team filled with a good amount of midpricers.

Guns and rookies is also a valid stratergy.


I think the biggest thing is you have to treat your speculative midprice picks as “rookies” when you plan your trade cadence.

With 40 trades now it matters less but in turning these midpricers into a premo and a correction actually saves you a trade or two as it’s just a week 2 upgrade

I am and have always been a massive advocate or addict for a good Mid Pricer. And the cheaper per gram the better as long as the purity is there say 80-100%.

But the SuperCoach syndicate have gone and cut the product down so far that to get a good High you have to spend up big or just get really lucky like picking Powerball numbers.

(For the kids out there this is called an analogy using a different topic as the reference to make a point.)

i would love to have Fyfe, Chapman, Zilliams all to go 80plus til round 8 but I got a feeling by then a fair few more names will be added to the N/A list - Never Again !!

Haven’t heard anyone talking up Whitfield this year yet nor have I seen a pig fly or a unicorn in my backyard.

Just for fun, and to bring back the socratic form of debate, I have put forward an opposing view to the MPM team inside it’s very own and my favourite community within the ‘SC BigFooty Forums’ to squeeze out some thoughts from the brains trust that lurk here and here only.
Because only the madly insane or inspired would doubt that MPM is the Way, I have spoken!

Xerri's injury a setback. Still a watch this space for me

Should easily eclipse his average last year and doesn't have a bye.

I thought George Hewett was going to be a solid mid-priced option given a few sub games last season dragged his average down, but at $440k he's a bit much.

I think Hewett and Kennedy are both sub risks for us. Both in our best dozen players but questionable if they both fit in a balanced 22.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

I'm not so sure about Gawn being good value.

2023 stats
rd 6-17 had average 53.5% CBA's and SC average of 97.3
rd 18-26 had average 85.9% CBAs and SC average of 125.2

2024 priced at 104.4

Edit: noting he scored 140 Rd 1 with 45% CBA's then injured in Rd 2 scored 0. First game back was rd 6

Had a bit of a thought about this.
Maybe the right mid-pricers and rookies from the Round 5&6 bye teams could be ‘Shorted’ and used as early upgrades. Taking small increases to make minor improvements. $50k-100k instead of the standard $150k we usually hope for.
After Round 6 every team will be back on par with each other so I don’t think it really matters that much.
The tempo of the beat is just un-syncopated.

Only Premo’s from Round 12 bye are on my wait til then list yet the rookies I will take a big bite from as many rookies from Rd 12&13 teams. Hoping for downgrades out of them into Rd 14&15 rookies on the bubble during Rd’s 5/6-11.
That way I might get two bites at the cherry in downgrades.

Only a passing thought at the moment haven’t looked at the maths or spreadsheet’s yet.

Seems the consensus is go hard and fast from the start.
Though it could make a big mess if teams are overloaded or heavy on with Rd 14&15 players.
Finished sides might not happen til Rd 16/17.. These could be the 4 optimum boost rounds also. Especially for a Mid-Pricer team.

Extra trades ...I think LJ woke up he's not a forward rumours back in the guts .
But PS watch on others in that price ...

 

[TempletonTheRat]

thinking along these lines also as they have an extra price change to everyone else.
The likes of Gibcus, Fin Macrae, Hore, Billings, Lynch, Jordan, Sheldrick, could be used for this purpose

 

[rocker_oz33]

Forget the safe picks. There's no fun there.

So, Billings?

Have heaps of fun get Fyfe ,Lynch ,Gini etc.
Woof...

Saving the extra trades to bye flip those rd 14/15 players could be the answer. Will make more of a different having an extra couple of premo's in the later byes when we are often struggling to get to 18.

Thanks - great food for thought, I'm just doing catch up reading atm

What's this about 40 trades?

 

[King_Steele]

Passing on Fyfe. Zilliams is enough risk for me. I know we have 40 trades but I’d rather risk LDU for example

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Xerri's injury a setback. Still a watch this space for me

Should easily eclipse his average last year and doesn't have a bye.

Nah, fracture of the cheekbone will be no issue this far out. Can play a game after 3 weeks with a phantom of the opera mask.
Get on the big guy, plenty of $ there.

: Not mid priced, I guess, but what's the buzz there? Assume it's hoping he plays down back and gets DPP early on?
Xerri will be fine, you don't run on your face.
